Ohjeet

Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). On a 13- by 18-inch rimmed baking sheet, toss carrots, garlic, and za’atar with 1 tablespoon of olive oil until evenly coated. Roast until tender, 30 to 35 minutes, tossing halfway through.

Let carrots cool slightly, about 5 minutes. In a blender, combine roasted carrots, lemon juice, tahini, salt, Aleppo pepper, and 2 tablespoons oil. Blend until a thick paste forms, about 2 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides as needed.

With the blender running, slowly pour ice-cold water through the opening of the lid. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. If necessary, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until carrot mixture reaches desired consistency.

Transfer carrot mixture to a shallow serving bowl; drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil, sprinkle with chopped pistachios, and garnish with additional Aleppo pepper. Serve with pita chips.
